A Tale of Two Trophies and Tons of Traffic / Sep 23rd

Web Marketing Associate’s WebAwards 2008We’ve got another award coming to adorn that trophy case we still really need to get (walking by Jonathan’s filing cabinet these days is like taking your life into your own hands), this time from the Web Marketing Association, presenting us with a 2008 WebAward for “outstanding achievement in website development” and Best Photography Website! Hurrah! Quoting from the judges’ comments:

“Not only does the application work better than expected and certainly as well as promised, the overall site design is pleasant, well laid out, and thoughtful. Everything was easy to find, easy to read, and simple to use… Having judged many web sites this year I have not run across any I like more than this and that do what a web site should do better. Even the other two sites that I gave a 10 to are not this good. I am afraid the bar has just been raised on layout, design, and functionality…well done!”

And that’s not all! Last week we got a lovely trophy from Horizon Interactive, awarding us the bronze medal for best use of Flash.

And that’s not all! We had our biggest weekend ever this past weekend! We never get tired of hearing ourselves say that. Thanks to everyone for the recognition and thanks for using Picnik!

The Stevie Has Landed! / Jun 19th

Stevie, asleep in his bedOur solid gold (not really but it’s heavy enough to be) Stevie Award was delivered today, swathed in black satin. Presented to Jonathan in New York last week and then shipped to us to save his back, it’s now standing next to our 2007 Macworld Editor’s Choice (aka “Eddy”) statue on Jonathan’s filing cabinet. What with the Eddy, being an official honoree of the Webby Award this year, now Stevie, and even being included in TIME magazine’s list of the 50 Best Websites of 2008, we’re really beginning to need a trophy case in here.

Meet Brother Stevie / Jun 13th

Teh SteviesOur intrepid Jonathan set off for the East Coast on Wednesday, and early on his agenda was a little meet-and-greet at the Marriot Marquis Hotel in the heart of Times Square… for the 6th Annual American Business Awards!

The ABAs, or the “Stevies”, were presented in over 40 categories, with over 2,600 submissions from companies of all shapes and sizes, and Team Picnik won *our* Stevie Award for Overall Design. So once again, back pats all ’round!
